Midas

I had some tire issues, and Joel was great. I highly recommend him and the store. I will be returning for my other mechanic needs. Great customer service. Very little wait time. Great location. They do oil changes too

Such a nice manager Joel Prado! Thank you for all the guys in the shop being so nice, and getting my brakes done so quickly. You are definitely my brake shop from here on out. Honest, low prices, and friendly service.

I went here for a simple tire patch after driving over a nail, and they did not do it correctly and my tire was flat the next morning. I called AAA because I couldn’t even drive on the tire to take it back to Midas and the AAA guy looked at their patch job and said it was cheap and no wonder it was not holding up. He then patched my tire up right then and there in a fifth of the time it took Midas to patch it and it has held up since. This Midas uses cheap materials and unfortunately puts lives in danger by sending people on the road like that. Do not go here.

After failed repair attempt for exhaust they tried to overcharge for same repair second time. Had all had very bad aditude. I went on La brea and San vicente and they fixed for ¹⁄₃ rd of their price. Thats not good service.

Serious concerns about the level of competency at this place. I brought my car in for a standard brake job and when I left I heard this chirp coming from the tires/​wheel well and a dull grinding noise when I picked up the speed. When I brought it back they tightened up the bearings (exacerbating the issue rather than correcting it) which seemed to help with both noises for a few miles but the noises came back louder than ever shortly after getting on the highway. Needless to say, I was seriously concerned and no longer trusted the service I was getting. I brought my car to the manufacturer/​dealer to be inspected and they discovered that the bearings were so tight on one of my rear tires that it was unable to turn. Essentially I was dragging it down the road. I can only imagine what kind of stress this has put on other parts of the car. I will never bring any vehicle back to this MIDAS.

Harry is the best! I never write Unilocal reviews but Harry & his team deserve a huge shout-​out. I arrived 10 mins before closing on a Saturday, in desperate need of an oil change. I expected to be turned away, but Harry promised me that they would stay late & take care of car. This was on top of the 2 additional customers ahead of me! What a great team! I will definitely be back.

Just came here for the first time after the Midas on Sunset reopened as a NAPA. Over the years I’ve really liked Midas for their very personable service, straight-​forward assessments of my car’s needs, price and warranty. Trusting my car to Harry at this location I had the same great experience. He got the job done right (brakes and wheel bearings) for a fair price and didn’t sell me on extra work.

Had a great experience here… after checking many places for prices for brakes, I chose Midas, they did an awesome job, up the initial check of the brakes, they said I didn’t even need new brakes, and just needed to clean and re adjust rear brakes, balance and rotate tires and a new air filter! I’ve never had a mechanic tell me I needed less than I thought, also, the men who helped me were very nice! I definitely recommend them!

I always try to appreciate people who help me even when it’s something small. With that being said, Joel is a great asset to the Midas team! I called and spoke to Joel on the phone about how I needed to replace my high mount brake light. I had tried to replace it myself but the light bulb was stuck. So I went in and Joel was able to replace my light in seconds! So thank you! I will definitely be back!

I had been experiencing some issues with my breaks before bringing my car here. I had an idea of what kind of work the car would need and this Midas location was spectacular in meeting my needs. They were extremely helpful, respectful, and professional. They kept me updated on a finish time and accepted an online coupon after the work was completed. Harry at the front desk was exceptionally accommodating and helpful from start to finish. I definitely recommend using this location as I will be in the future. As a woman, I am often hesitant to visiting the mechanic alone in fear of getting ripped off, but I did not feel that way here in the slightest. They were up front, honest, and very comparable in prices to any other place.

When I checked my car out of the body shop, the manager told me my oil pan gasket was leaking and needed replacement. I passed that on to the guys at Midas and they told me they couldn’t cconfirm the leak until I got my engine steam cleaned, which I did. ($ 60!). Took it back and they told me to bring it back in a week and the location of the leak would be obvious. I waited 2 weeks, during which time my car continued to visibly leak. Took the car back and guess what? They told me I needed to have my engine steam cleaned AGAIN so they could locate te leak. If you have ever hard of this kind of diagnostics, I guess you will want to take you car to Midas.

i all way bring my cars here. I get the best service, best prices and i know its to hard to find a shop that dose that. Thank Joel

In a further development. Midas charged me for my full amount and did not refund me for the services I did not receive. So basically they stole over $ 50 from me.

Joel has taken care of my car since August of 2014. He is delightful to speak with and, to my mind, someone who runs his business with integrity.
I’ve had two oil changes with them, had a battery replaced, inspection and maintenance on my brakes, which I knew was coming… all of this done in an extremely reasonable amount of time and at the right price.
Joel and Harry took a look at my car last week when I became very anxious about the «service engine soon» light flicking on. They did a whole diagnostic thang, determined it was something within the transmission that was beyond the sphere of ability at Midas, and urged me to go back to my dealership, which proved to be the right move (and it was still under warranty!).
My car was with them for three + hours that morning and they charged me nothing for taking the time to do that. This made me feel like a valued customer. Thank you, Joel!
I will continue to go to them to keep my car safe and running.

They work fast, are a little underpriced compared to other mechanics (at least for what I had to get done) and they overall seem honest. Will come back and recommend.

Midas is a good value for an oil change, but you can do much better than their Beverly HIlls location. Sullen staff, always pushing the up-​sell, frequently understaffed with long wait times. I recently started going to their Figueroa St. location just south of downtown, and I think it’s much better.
In terms of service itself, I think they’ve been perfectly fine. Definitely better than Jiffy Lube. I just think there are better Midas franchises within LA.

Brought my car in for some issues with the brakes — turned out to be much more serious than I thought, but Midas used a promotional coupon to charge me significantly less than it would have been.
Then, when the part they needed to fix it wasn’t going to be there for the next day, they lowered the price even further.
Big fan of these guys!

This was probably the worst car repair experience I’ve ever had. I spent about $ 1400 on repair work. A few days later I had to come back to replace the part they put in. The replacement still didn’t resolve the issue, and I discovered later when getting new tires at a different shop that this Midas forgot to put my wheel locks back on. When I told them I was 12 miles away because that’s where I live, they asked me when I would be by to pick it up. They offered to mail them to me when I objected to driving over to get them. Then when I did come over, the owner asked why I didn’t just pay to have them replace my tires.
Disclaimer: The owner did credit me $ 100 for his staff not putting the locks back on. That did make for odd timing, though, to ask me to give them a positive review on Unilocal.
A few weeks later, the replacement part still wasn’t working. The owner promised to put in a factory part instead, but he had to order it. I told him that I wanted the box the part came in, after speaking with a dealer service rep about what problems I had been facing. I didn’t hear from the owner or his staff for a week, in spite of my calling and leaving messages. Finally, when the part arrived, it was a rebuilt part, not a new factory part. When I complained because that’s not what I was promised, the owner said it was a perfectly good part. I finally just gave up. The part is still not working right, and I just don’t have the energy to deal with these people any more.

I visited Midas today for a flat tire light on my car. They have been very very nice, checked the light, put air in all tires right away and didn’t charge anything. They were very friendly, will definitely come back for a full check of my car.

Charged me $ 100 to replace the socket in my headlight, which according to them meant taking apart the entire assembly, thus the $ 100. Actually, they just clipped the wires on the socket, popped a new one in (maybe not sure, as you will see) and spliced the wires together. Weren’t too friendly when I asked them about this either.
Well, this fix lasted about 3 months, before it started flickering. I played with the wires and fixed if for another couple months. Finally it went out. I took it to real mechanic, who fixed it for me in a few minutes and did it for FREE. He said that a connector was cracked, which was probably the problem the whole time.
